This attitude is the reason we all get screwed from vendors who have absolutely insane markups/profit margins. The fact that the car the part is being applied to happens to have a roundel on the hood makes no impact on how expensive it is to manufacture the part. I'm not bashing Lux in particular here, but the vendors in general, especially since they tend to all carry the same parts made in China.
If you are complaining about all vendors the please remove your comments from this thread. As well if you look back in time, we were the first company to make a product with this design, and since then every single company out there copied our design.
